IT WENT ONE WAY
Kepnblicans Will Have a
Majority in the House.;
WILSON IS LEFT AT HOME
Bill Beaten Out Sight Maryland Re
tarns Republicans to Congress
So Does Tennessee.
Tli Republicans Will Bare Control of
the Next House.
Washington, Nov. 6. At 11 :30 o'clock
tonight Mr. J. B. Babcock, the chair
man of the republican congressional
committee, telegraphed Mr. Apaley, the
vice-chairman of the committee, at
, Boston, aa follows :
"The returns from the congressional
districts are yet incomplete. We have
carried 24 districts in New York, three
in West Virginia, three in Connecticut,
three in Kentucky, defeated the free
trader, Johnson, in Ohio, and Wilson, in
West Virginia, and I could estimate that
we will control the next house by a
much larger majority than the com
mittee has predicted. We have also
carried Wisconsin by not less ' than
25,000 majority, and with eight members
of congress. The reports received up to
date indicate uniform republican gains.
I estimate that we will control the next
house by 25 majority. My returns thus
far have been very meager, but all the
indications point to a larger representa
tion. I figured on only 20 members in
New York, but shall have 24 at least.
My estimate included one republican
from Kentucky. It now looks as if we
would have three from that state. I
claimed two republican members in
Connecticut. A dispatch from Mr. Ben
ton, the chairman of the state central
committee, tells me that the republicans
have carried all four of the Connecticut
districts. I am assured that we have
elected 13 congressmen in Massachusetts,
where the committee's greatest claim was
11. InOhio we have exceeded our es
timate, and from present appearances
the results will be still more encouraging.
In Wisconsin I estimated the election of
seven republicans, but shall have eight.
I made no calculations on securing rep
resentatives in Maryland, but my advices
are that we have elected two. So it is
going all along the line. From the
limited intelligence received at head
quarters, I am certain that Mr. Wilson
is defeated."
Manley to Babcock.
New York, Nov. 6. J. H. Manley,
chairman of the republican national
executive committee, has sent the fol
lowing telegram of congratulation to the
Hon. B. W. Babcock, chairman of the
, republican congressional committee :
"I heartily congratulate you on the
result of your labors. Our victory is
perfect and complete from Maine to
- California. The result in New York is
the grandest victory of all. We have
laid this day a solid foundation upon
which to erect in 1896 the structure of a
national victory for protection and pros
perity."
Senator Harris Robbed.
Memphis, Nov. 6. Senator Harris,
who was billed to speak at Bolivar, Ten n. ,
yesterday, arrived Sunday night and took
rooms at the Bolivar hotel. About 1
o'clock he retired, hanging his vest on a
chair in the room. In the pockets of his
vest' were a gold watch, valued at $185,
and $65 in coin. Senator Harris did not
lock the door to his room. When he

suspected. The stranger left during the

What Stngerlj's Paper Says.
Philadelphia, Noy. 7. The Record,
of which Colonel William M. Singerlyy
the democratic candidate for governor,
is the proprietor, says :
"Pennsylvania is a republican state,
but the energy of Us republicans yester
day was something magnificent. Evi
dently the voters have carried to the
account of the democracy all of the ill
fortune that has befallen the country as
the culmination of republican misrule,
and we suspect there may be hidden
under, the pile of adverse majorities an
A. P. A. reminder. He is a poor soldier,
however, who complains of war, and
those only who know how to accept de
feat with composure are capable of mod
eration and justice when victory arrives
In Pennsylvania the election yesterday
was a farce. The fraudulent registry
lists are fully represented in the fraudu
lent count. There.is probably an honest
republican majority of 2,000 votes. The
rest is padding."
The Last Returns Say Two Hundred and
Fifty Thousand.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7. Incomplete
returns received up to 12:30 a. m. shows
a net republican gain over 1892 of 80,921
The same rate of gain in the districts yet
to be heard from would indicate a plural
ity in the Btate for Hastings for governor
of at least 200,000. Philadelphia gives
Hastings from 65,000 to 75,000 plurality
The republicans elect all their congres
sional candidates except four.
The Very Latest Fig-ares.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7. 3 :30 a. m.
Returns from the entire state give Has
ings an estimated plurality of 216,644,
the greatest republican majority ever
cast in the state. Hastings' gain over
1892 ia 148,917.
. Pittsburg and Allegheny County.
Pittbbubg, Nov. 7. At midnight the

has a republican majority of 4000.
Pittsburg gives 17,000. The' indications
are that every congressman in Western
Pennsylvania elected today is a repnh

It Explains Phenomena in a Way Peculiar
ly Its Own.
Education in Corea is of the Chinese
order-r-the committal of whole books
to. memory. On all other subjects than,
knowledge of Chinese, says the Boston
Transcript, ignorance is the fashion
when it is not a reality. Philosophical
speculation is stated to be common, but
Corean notions of natural science are
indeed very chaotic, if the following1
story may be accepted: "A well-known
merchant of Chemulpo was asked by
one of his native employes a man of
some education whether or not he
had ever seen a sparrow which had
died a natural death. The person
questioned did not remember that he
had. He was then asked how the for
eign servants accounted for such a
phenomenon, for such it was, consid
ering the vast number . of sparrows in
the world and the huge families they
raise every year. The answer to
this query being- unsatisfactory, the
Corean g-ave his explanation, which
was a popular one. He said that dying1
sparrows betook themselves to the sea
shore, dived into the mud and became
clams 'How else', he ' triumphantly
adclod, 'could you account for the num
